Roy has to pay for it some how, getting new server that cost money.And int this fooking forum doing ya head in with all these inserted Links that Google keeps shoving into ya posts. Fooking intrusive commercialism does me tits in.

Whats wrong with sticking ads at the bottom of the page?? And did ya know that Google now tailors it's search result to what "IT thinks" yu should receive. So 2 different people searching for the exact same search query. will receive completely different results??" Talk about cenorship by stealth.

Fitting a uprated chip isn't fitting a new inter-cooler!
By injecting more fuel the burn temperature increases, as the hotter exhaust gases spin the turbo faster, which in turn compresses the inlet air pressure before the inlet manifold, the extra heat is partly removed by the inter-cooler.
A new larger uprated inter-cooler should remove the extra heat, but most people don't fit a new inter-cooler so the extra heat reduces the density of the inducted air.
To gain the most from an upgraded chip you must also increase the density of the intake air by removing the extra heat , to keep the optimun fuel/air ratio for maximum power.
So the power increase for most upgraders comes from the extra fuel injected not the reduced inducted air temperture.
Oh, and the powerbox only confuses the injection ecm into injecting more fuel to gain more power, not adjusting the mpg display.

well for me none.
Not sure if you are calling me an idiot, but I was actually agreeing with you!
The reason I would expect that the fuel economy would be more or less the same is that for a given amount of power, you use a given amount of fuel, and there isn't a fat lot any chip can do to change that. Which is the point you keep making, and which I agree with. So unless you drive flat out all the time, using the extra power, which very few people will actually do (speed limits and other traffic mean that in reality full power is rarely used, even on a 2.5DT!), overall fuel consumption (brim to brim) will surely be more or less the same as before??
I do agree that if you have an extra 15bhp then when you are actually using it, you will use more fuel..... but we are talking about brim-brim mpg meausrement here, not instantaneous consumption.
HTH!

My dse has a plugin chip, more power, more miles in the tank what ever people think they know mine works and more than happy buying something that pays for it's self !!!!
Fitting a larger intercooler also increases the amount of fuel injected that is true. But it has not a lot to do with air flow more with air mass. The turbo pressurises the system, you can't get any more air flow than it provides, it is the thickness or mass of the air that changes. What you do get is cooler more dense air. Cooler more dense air needs more fuel to maintain the mixture ratio. So fitting a larger intercooler will give a slight power increase on it's own without any chipping. Chipping just increases the fueling to get the power boost. So a larger intercooler and chipping will give a good power boost, but either way it means injecting more fuel. You don't get owt for nowt in this world.

No not you in particular. Just amazed at the lack of knowledge and gullability of some on here.

Your living in a dream world my friend.

Yes Keith just so. But these people never take advice from people who know a lot more than they do. Where the fooking hell do they think their extra power and torque come from? It beggers belief that they still keep making silly claims when it has been explained so many times.

im running 200bhp and getting about 20mpg in a 2.5dse jeremmy fearns fill kit
Do you have a dyno read out for it?

So with 136bhp I get 24 to 30mpg so there's the difference. Also how long will your gearbox last if it's auto?

i have a new gearbox fitted and engine at 190,000 miles! if i need a new angine and gearbox at 400,000 miles ill be fine with that. dont ever plan on selling it so happy enough to invest in it.

no, but trust me i had a 4.6 v8 and it was easily able to keep up. AFAIK all jeremy fearns stuff is tuned on a rolling road after installation to peak performance.

With that power you'll be lucky to even get 80K miles out of the box, mine managed less than 40K after the power went up to 166bhp (it had a total mileage of 102K) . Next time get yourself a ZF4HP24 fitted.

and change the bell housings?

Can use the same bell housing and torque converter by all accounts, the only difference I can find is the extension piece between the end of the box and the transfer box is shorter for the ZF4HP24 to accomodate the extra length of the gearbox. I don't have the cash to buy a 24 or I would try to do it. As far as I can see the 24 is a straight swap for the 22 as long as it's from a P38
